The tectonic history of the Kamchatka
Peninsula is dominated by continuous
accumulation and amalgamation of terranes
with different origins, which were
delivered by convergence between the
Pacific plate and in former times, the
Kula plate against Eurasia (Freitag,
2002). The Kronotsky and Cape Kamchatka
Peninsulas show that the collision
of terranes and the resulting tectonics
are still important for major parts of
East-Kamchatka. While the collision of
the Kronotsky Peninsula is sorely influenced
by the convergence of the Pacific
plate, the Cape Kamchatka Peninsula is
affected by the collision of the Aleutian
Arc with Kamchatka, what gives the opportunity to compare two different processes that resulted in the amalgamation
of terranes to Kamchatka.
